Chapter Ten

Something was wrong.

Very wrong.

Even after Aric had managed to calm Jo down, to keep her from hurting herself by pulling away from his knot, her frantic heartbeat didn't slow. He could feel the tension in her body like the threat of a storm still hours away.

This wasn't how an omega was supposed to behave after knotting. According to what he'd heard—and granted, it was all hearsay, fueled by too much drink and too many hormones and too few women to go around—she would go off like a rocket and then pass out in ecstasy, only to wake up hungry for more. All of Aric's brothers who were now mated had gone off the grid during their omegas' first heat, only to return eventually with stupid grins on their faces.

But—so far at least—it wasn't happening quite like that with his omega. Aric could feel her tense breaths, her eyelashes brushing against her skin as her eyes darted around the room. He didn't know what she was looking for or what she was afraid of. He just kept stroking her hair, purring in her ear, holding her securely against him—anything he could think of to help keep the rising tide of her panic at bay.

After the amazing sex they'd just shared, he was more than happy to give Jo anything she needed to recover. But as the seconds turning into long minutes and she didn't seem any more comfortable, Aric grew increasingly concerned. The signals rising from her body simply didn't make sense.

Jo was an omega—recently awakened, it was true, but well on her way to her first heat. When that happened, she would go into a frenzy of lust that would drive her to mate with him over and over. But her nature should've already been adapting to him. His touch should be a comfort that she sought out, not a threat she recoiled from.

Was it possible that there was something wrong inside her? Some condition or disease that was keeping her omega nature from flourishing? Briefly, Aric considered taking her to see Randall's mate, who had trained as a nurse—but despite concentrating as hard as he could, he couldn't detect any disturbances in her scent that signaled a biological issue.

Which left only one other possible source for her angst—that head of hers.

Un-fucking-believable. Even hours of sex and dozens of orgasms hadn't taken the fight out of his omega. A part of Aric admired Jo for her feistiness. For someone so small and skittish, the woman certainly knew how to stand her ground.

Aric had underestimated her, and he wouldn't do it again—but he also wouldn't allow her defiance to continue. Not only did it threaten his pride, but it was truly dangerous.

Jo had already almost hurt herself, trying to tear herself away from his cock. If he hadn't stopped her, she could have been seriously injured. God only knew what would happen if she reacted that way during her heat. She could end up ripping herself apart.

The worst part was that it was just so damn unnecessary.
